Local woman wins big on a scratch card

A Louth woman has picked up a cheque for €50,000 at the National Lottery Headquarters.

She won the money on an All Cash Platinum scratch card which she bought in Tesco on West Street in Drogheda.

She told the National Lottery the lucky local said “Every time I am out and about in the shops I buy a scratch card. I’ve won the odd €5 or €10 before, but nothing like this. I’m thrilled. We got up at the crack of dawn to come down to Dublin to get my winnings. I plan on having a small get together with close friends and family to celebrate the win later this week.”
